Patent GB-2307068-A (GB)
Title: Numerical control system using a personal computer
Inventor: FUJISHIMA MITSUSHIRO
IPC: G05B19/18
Filed: 1996-10-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a numerical control system comprising a number of NC boards and a personal computer. A PLL circuit (31) of a pulse convert/output circuit (12) in an NC board A(1) receives a fundamental clock signal (CLK) through a PC extension bus (207) from a fundamental clock generating circuit (201). The PLL circuit generates a sync pulse signal (PLS) on the basis of the received fundamental clock signal (CLK). The sync pulse signal (PLS) is inputted to a gate (34). A signal select circuit (33) receives an address signal (AD), or a (RESET) signal or an (IRQ) signal through the PC extension bus (207). The circuit (33) generates a pulse-outputting permission signal (N3) on the basis of the received signal (AD, RESET or IRQ). The pulse-outputting permission signal (N3) controls a gate (34) which determines the timing of starting the outputting of the sync pulse signal (PLS). Consequently, a sync signal PLSOUT that is synchronized with those in the remaining NC boards B, C etc. (not shown) is generated. A separate pulse generator is not required.

Title: Balanced flue
Inventor: CLACK MALCOLM DENNIS
IPC: F23L17/04
Filed: 1996-11-07
Abstract: A balanced flue 6 comprises a unit containing separate exhaust outlets 20 (21) to receive products of combustion from two or more burners 4. This provides an effective manner of exhausting products of combustion from a plurality of burners which enables the products to be kept completely separate until they leave the balanced flue 6. A fluid fuel fired appliance may have two or more burners 4, a balanced flue 6, and separate passageways (9,10) in the appliance leading from each of the burners 4 to respective exhaust outlets 20 (21) of the balanced flue. The passageways allow the products of combustion from the burners to be taken separately to the respective exhaust outlets 20 (21) to be expelled from the balanced flue 6. A plurality of fluid fuel fired appliances may have burners from which products of combustion are arranged to be led separately by ducting means to a common balanced flue 6.

Patent GB-2319923-A (GB)
Title: Loudspeaker yoke acts as heatsink
Inventor: EASTTY PETER CHARLES
IPC: H04R1/00
Filed: 1996-11-27
Abstract: A loudspeaker comprises a magnetic yoke 30 and one or more vibration driving coils 40 disposed so as to interact magnetically with the yoke when an electrical current flows through the coils. One or more signal amplifying and/or converting devices, e.g. so-called power DAC's, 70 are mounted on or near the yoke such that the yoke may act as heatsink. The amplifying and/or converting devices receive a one-bit digital audio signal. This arrangement minimises the length of the output leads from the devices 70 and so minimises electromagnetic interference caused by the digital signal.

Title: Producing a lip movement parameter in a 3D model-based image coding system
Inventor: LEE MIN-SUP
IPC: H04N19/137
Filed: 1997-12-05
Abstract: In a 3 dimension model-based coding system, a shape of mouth, especially, a shape of lip, among a shape of face, has an important visual information. As each person has the different shape of lip, however, it is desirable to transform the shape of lip based on an individual person. First, a characterized 3 dimension lip model based on the individual person is generated 55 by matching a 3 dimension lip model 50 to a basic lip 45 of the individual person. Subsequently, the characterized 3 dimension lip model is converted 60 into a 2 dimension lip model and rotated according to a angle of a real lip image L20. In case that the person is talking, the 2 dimension lip model is reconstructed 35 based on a recognized syllable 30. Finally, a difference between the 2 dimension lip model and the real lip image is calculated. As not a whole real lip image but the difference between the real image and the 2 dimension lip model similar to the real lip image is transmitted, resultingly, the amount of transmission data can be reduced. Specifically lip movement parameters 70, voice signals L10, and lip model rotation angles 60 are transmitted from MUX 75.

Title: Tray cover convertible to waste receptacle
Inventor: PERCIVAL DAVID RICHARD
IPC: A47G23/06
Filed: 1998-02-24
Abstract: A flexible cover of a tray containing food is convertible to form a bag secured to one edge of the tray to serve as a receptacle for waste items during and after consumption of the food. The cover may, as shown, be double layered and turned inside out during opening of the tray to thus form the bag. Alternatively, the cover may be single layered and formed into a bag after opening of the tray by folding it double and adhering side edges together (Figure 7). Such covers are initially sealed to the top edge of the tray but readily peelable along three sides. More simply, the cover may instead be a separate bag that initially fits over the tray and has an adhesive strip whereby it may subsequently be attached to one edge of the tray to serve as the waste receptacle. The invention is useful in aircraft and cafeterias.

Title: Video surveillance system in which live and previously recorded images may be simultaneously displayed
Inventor: TAYLOR ERIC
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating a surveillance system comprising a plurality of video cameras 1-16, a monitor 10 and a video recorder 12. The video cameras and monitor are controlled by a central controller, typically multiplexers 30, 32, 14 which can display multiple cameras on one monitor and also send the information from several cameras to the video recorder 12 by using time division multiplexing (TDM). The central controller is typically built around a microprocessor-based central processing unit (CPU). The system is able to play back 38 recordings from a video recorder, so that recorded images can be examined. The playback of recorded images takes place simultaneously with the ongoing monitoring of live images, and does not interrupt the on-going recording of new images. Input 38 may be connected to video recorder 12 or another recorder.
